The Power of The Core

The core is a problem that a lot of people deal with. Anybody can sit up, and anybody can twist to the side, but most have problems having complete control of their core. My idea of somebody who has good core control and power, is somebody who can lift any part of their body with their core.

We have a number of muscles in the core that are required for sitting up, lifting our legs, and twisting. They need to be worked out in different ways. If all you do for your stomach is sit ups, you're probably going to lack in all of the other magnificent core muscles. So no to sit ups and crunches, if you're going to do those, twist a little.

   You're lower back, your abdominals, and your obliques are super important. If we didn't have those muscles, we would not be able to perform any kind of regular task that we carry through. When you're pulling something or pushing something, you're core holds your upper body erect and stable. So that means no opening the fridge, and as far as America is concerned, that's something that can't happen, if we didn't open the fridge, how else would we be happy?

   Things like leg raises offer a powerful core, because you're working out every core muscle up front and a little bit of your lats. Back levers, and supermans, as well as planks, handstands, planches, tuck planches, and anything requiring hold your feet up in a non sitting position, will work you back muscles. 

   It's important you balance out the way your muscles are worked. I'll tell you right now, core hyper extension is among the worst things you can do to yourself because it hurts so bad.

   So work out your core, get those abs, don't just work out your core though, nothing looks weirder than a person who works out their core but no other part of their body.

   The balance core strength offers is very important to have, if you don't have much core strength, you will probably have very poor balance. 

   To everybody out there who likes to ride their bike, your core is what keeps you balanced, to everybody who runs, your core is what keeps you balance, to all of you people who love to do handstands, your core keeps you balance, to all of you people who love to sit in your office chair without falling out of it, your core keeps your balanced, to all of you people who love to do pull ups, your core keeps you balance, to all of your people who like to lift weights, your core keeps you balanced, to all of you people who love life in general, your core keeps you balanced.

   Your core is the center of your balance. Without your core, your body wouldn't work. It protects vital organs and keeps you from hurting your spine. Work out that core, the stronger it is, the more balance and protection you have.
